By Plenary Sessions: Evelin Poolamets

The political stance is strongly oppositional, focusing on the legal basis for the government's actions (reducing the influence of the Moscow Patriarchate) and defending the institutional role of the Riigikogu against criticism from ministers. The criticism is directed at both the policy level (illegal decisions) and the level of values (respect for Parliament). The speaker expresses deep skepticism regarding the government's ability to make legal and functional decisions, citing the previous failed confiscation of a monument.

The political position is two-pronged: strong support for a temporary solidarity levy on the banking sector, aimed at channeling extraordinary profits back to the public, while simultaneously maintaining fierce opposition to mandatory sustainability reporting. The latter is viewed as a source of immense bureaucracy and costs that ultimately harm business and entrepreneurship. This opposition is framed on a values-based foundation, highlighting concerns regarding sovereignty and free-market principles during the transposition of European Union directives.

The political stance is strongly opposed to the project of renting out prison spaces to other countries, which the speaker largely deems a "failed project." This position is policy-driven, focusing on the lack of feasibility of the project and concerns regarding the safeguarding of detainees' human rights. The speaker questions why Estonia should be able to handle this when other countries (the Netherlands, Belgium) have already failed.

The political position centers on the specifics of implementing the security tax and defining the taxable object. The speaker voiced concern over whether temporary agency labor is included in the scope of taxation, pointing to the necessity for clarity when the law is applied. Stants is moderately critical, stressing the need for precision in the policy.

The political position is strongly opposed to the government’s tax increases and excise duty policy, particularly concerning electricity and fuel excises. The speaker challenges the government’s justifications (e.g., blaming Putin) and emphasizes the policy’s negative impact on the economy. This stance is clearly aimed at criticizing the government’s economic performance.

The political position is vehemently opposed to the government's proposed social tax amendments, which would terminate health insurance coverage for parents of children under the age of three, labeling the move unprecedented and cruel. This stance is value-based, centered on supporting families and preventing potential health risks. Furthermore, concern is expressed regarding the abolition of the legal education requirement for the State Secretary and the resulting questions of competence.

The political focus is centered on resolving the demographic crisis and ensuring the long-term preservation of the Estonian nation, language, and culture. The speaker takes a firm stance in support of boosting the birth rate and sharply criticizes the government's inaction and the cuts to family benefits, which have only exacerbated the crisis. This position is value-driven, emphasizing national continuity and standing in opposition to short-term fixes, such as uncontrolled immigration.

The political position is strongly critical of the government's actions regarding the management and financing of infrastructure projects. The speaker demands concrete deadlines for the completion of the Rail Baltic Pärnu-Latvia section and emphasizes that the underfunding of the road network has led to a critical maintenance backlog. The stance is performance-oriented, calling into question the minister's optimistic promises.
